    Nice condo

    Overall great place, great location. Nicely furnished and appointed and the Art TV was super cool...need one of those in my house. It has a nice covered patio, where you can hear the street noise but it is not obnoxious. A great place to drink coffee in the cooler mornings. We traveled back and forth from U of A and it was about 20 minutes or so. Great to be by a nice outdoor mall with lots of food options, including a local grocery store.

    The condo in the Catalina foothills is perfect in every way. Stunning views, comfy beds/furnishing and thoughtful extras (emergency toothbrush, extra towels, spa robes, pool supplies). The location is very handy to many hike trails, UofA, and shops/restaurants. I’ve already booked another stay!

    We stayed at this property when we were in Tucson for graduation ceremonies ot U of A. It is a beautiful spot. The view is great. The unit is the best of the group. Inside is great. We enjoyed our time and would stay again. (minor detail: I could not figure out how to tune in ABC/NBC live on the TV but we were not there to watch TV and did not bother to contact the host.)

    Love at First Sight

    The location of this property is amazing. It sits high on hill which allows for unobstructed views of the Catalina Mountains. The southwest decor is very tasteful with wonderful little touches throughout the home. Our favorite spot was the porch for afternoon sun and, for me, the window seat was perfect for the rainy or chilly days. Owners were very responsive and friendly! We definitely will return!

    A wonderful place! The patio is perfectly situated to take in unobstructed, stunning views of the beautiful Catalina Mountains - just incredible. Equally lovely inside - completely updated, stocked and spotless. For someone who cooked every night, couldn’t be happier with the kitchen. Proximately to restaurants, hiking trails, outstanding grocery stores, art galleries and other shopping a real bonus. Superb hosts, seamless check-in/check-out. An excellent VRBO option in Tucson!

    A gem against the foothills

    Beautifully sited, near restaurants and a great market. Carefully designed and appointed 2BR. Unlike many of the dreary and dark rentals in AZ, this home is bright, clean, and contemporary. The appliances are top notch and the kitchen well set up with sharp knives -- a rarity in rentals. Supplies are "endless" in that there are soaps, shampoos, cleaning supplies, and more for your stay. Again, a lovely rare benefit in a rental.

    Beautiful Home in the Foothills

    This Catalina Foothill’s home is beautiful and clean and so comfortable. I love the layout of the house, especially the nice porch where you can drink your morning coffee and lookout at the desert terrain. The home is very quiet at night. Sleeping well is important to me and the mattresses in both bedrooms were comfy for me. Plus, I like that there are a variety of pillows to choose from. I am a swimmer and I enjoyed the pool area. I was able to swim short laps and I had the pool all to myself most of the time. The kitchen includes all the dishes, pots and pans and appliances you need if you like to cook in, plus coffee! Jacqueline is such a gracious and attentive host. When a problem arose Jacqueline took care of me in the nicest way. I look forward to staying in this lovely home again some day.

    Amazing Stay!

    We have rented quite a few vacation homes and this condo is by far at the top of our list. Jacqueline mentions in her home info book that comfort was her goal and she was not kidding! I felt like I had walked into my own home and didn’t have to worry about wether or not I would have to run out and pick up things the condo was missing or replace things that were less than adequate. I can’t even begin to list the many things you will enjoy - the list is very long! Suffice it to say that we booked our next stay on the second day we were here. Can’t wait to return in November! Thanks again for being such a gracious host, Jacqueline.
